Safety Precautions
FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF YOUR “ENVIRO” HEATER,
PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
• All ENVIRO gas-red appliances must be installed
in accordance with their instructions. Carefully read all
the instructions in this manual rst. Consult the building
authority having jurisdiction to determine the need for
a permit prior to commencing the installation.
• NOTE: Failure to follow these instructions could
cause a malfunction of the replace, which could
result in death, serious bodily injury, and/or property
damage.
• Failure to follow these instructions may also void
your re insurance and/or warranty.
GENERAL
• Installation and repair should be done by a
qualied service person. The appliance should be
inspected before the rst use and, at least, annually
by a qualied service person. More frequent
cleaning may be required due to excessive lint from
carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative the
control compartments, burners and circulating air
passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should
be located out of high trafc areas and away from
furniture and draperies.
Children and adults should be alerted to the
hazards of high surface temperatures and
should stay away to avoid burn or clothing
ignition.
• Young children should be carefully supervised
when in the same room as the appliance.
• Clothing or other ammable materials should not
be placed on or near the appliance.
• To prevent injury, do not allow anyone who is
unfamiliar with the stove to operate it.
• To prevent injury, if the pilot or pilot and
burners have gone out on their own, open the
glass door and wait 5 minutes to air out before
attempting to re-light the stove.
• Always keep the area around these appliances
clear of combustible material, gasoline and other
ammable liquids and vapours.
• These appliances should not be used as a drying
rack for clothing or for hanging Christmas stockings/
decorations.
• Due to the paint curing on the stove, a faint odor
and slight smoking will likely be noticed when the
stove is rst used. Open a window until the smoking
stops.
Always connect this gas stove to a vent system and
vent to the outside of the building envelope. Never
vent to another room or inside the building. Make sure

Maintenance And Service
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:
At least once a year, run through the following procedures to ensure the system is clean and working
properly. Check the burner to see if all the ports are clear and clean. Check the pilot to make sure it is not
blocked by anything. The pilot ame should be blue with little or no yellow on the tips.
Warning: Clearances must be sufcient to allow access for maintenance and service
Warning: Failure to position the parts in accordance with this manual, or failure to use only parts
specically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
The venting system must be periodically examined; it is recommended the examination is done by a
qualied agency.
GLASS DOOR REMOVAL:
Turn unit off and wait until the appliance has cooled down.
Remove the decorative fascia or clip-on bay window by lifting it up
and removing it from the slots in the body of the unit.
Undo the two (2) 5/16’’ bolts at the top of the door frame and then lift
the glass and frame, being careful that the glass does not fall out of
the door frame assembly. Install in the reverse order.
Ensure the door is properly fastened after cleaning before attempting
to re-light the appliance.
Figure 6: Top bolts for glass door.
CLEANING THE GLASS:
When the replace has cooled, remove the face of the replace along with the glass. See MAINTENANCE
AND SERVICE - GLASS DOOR REMOVAL. Check the gasket material on the back of the glass, making sure that
it is attached and intact.
During a cold start up, condensation will sometimes form on the glass. This is a normal condition with all
replaces. However, this condensation can allow dust and lint to cling to the glass surface. Initial paint
curing of the appliance can leave a slight lm behind the glass, a temporary problem. The glass will need
cleaning about two weeks after installation. Use a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth; abrasive cleaners will damage the glass and plated surfaces. Depending on the amount of use, the glass
should require cleaning no more than two or three times a season. Do not clean the glass when it is
hot.
CLEANING THE FIREBOX:
Remove the logs carefully, as they are very fragile. Gently remove all the embers and rock wool and place
on a paper towel. Vacuum the bottom of the rebox thoroughly. Carefully clean any dust off the logs and
remove any lint from the burner and pilot. At this time, inspect the burner pan for cracking or severe
warping. If a problem is suspected, contact the dealer. Check the logs for deterioration or large amounts
of soot; a small amount on the bottom side of the logs is normal. Replace the logs and embers as in the
SECONDARY INSTALLATION - LOG SETAND EMBER INSTALLATION section. If new/more embers and rock wool are
required, contact your nearest ENVIRO dealer.
REPLACINGTHE GLASS:
The glass in the replace is a high temperature ceramic. If the glass is damaged in any way, a factory
replacement is required (see PARTS LIST). Wear gloves when handling damaged glass door assembly

to prevent personal injury. When the glass door assembly is being transported, it must be wrapped in
newsprint and tape and/or a strong plastic bag. Do not operate with the glass front removed, cracked
or broken. Removal and replacement of the glass from the door must be done by a licensed or qualied
service person. The glass must be purchased from an ENVIRO dealer. No substitute materials
are allowed.
MAINTAINING FASCIA AND SURROUND FINISHES:
When a plated surround or face is received, it should be unpacked/unwrapped carefully to avoid getting
anything on the surface of the nish, including cleaners, polish and nger prints. If your ngers come into
contact with the nishes, the oils left as ngerprints on the plating can become permanently etched in
the surface. To prevent this, clean the painted surfaced with a damp cloth and clean plated nishes with
denatured alcohol after the installation and prior to rst ring of the replace. If your ngers come into
contact with the antique copper nish, the oils left as ngerprints on the copper can cause discoloration,
which will eventually turn green in that area. You can clean the patina or discolored areas of the antique
copper nish with “OO” 3M green sanding pads. These can be purchased from most hardware stores. On
the areas with discoloration, use the sanding pads to sand in the same direction as the brushed nish,
then blend the nish by feathering in the surrounding area. This renishing procedure has been approved
by the manufacturer and will not harm the nish. Please note: ANTIQUE COPPER IS THE ONLY FINISH
THAT CAN BE SANDED, DO NOT SAND PEWTER, GOLD OR NICKEL FINISHES.
BURNERAND BLOWER REMOVAL:
1. Turn the unit off, remove the glass door (see MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE - GLASS DOOR REMOVAL) and the
log set. Caution: Bleed lines before lighting and light pilot with door open.
2. Remove the burner tray top by removing the two (2) T-20 screws located in the center of the burner
tray (see Figure 7). Slide tray to the left and lift out.
4. Remove the surround panel by lifting it straight up and then out to free it from the body of the unit.
5. Turn the gas supply off and remove gas connection and disconnect the wiring from the side of the
appliance.
6. Remove the three (3) T-20 screws that hold the air deector in place on the back rewall (see Figure 7)
and undo the remaining screws that hold the burner assembly in the appliance. Carefully remove the
gas tray assembly from the rebox,
ensuring that wires and gas lines are
not damaged.
7. Remove the blower and housing from
the gas tray assembly by removing
the fastening screws located on
the back of the gas tray assembly.
Disconnect the wiring from the fan
temperature sensor and remove.
To install; follow steps 1 through 7 in
reverse. Perform a gas leak check on all
gas line with a soap and water solution
or an approved method and check
burner and blower assembly for proper
operation.
